About the Book

Yes, you can hook your readers from page one.


This book is based on a workshop I gave a while ago. Even as I was preparing the workshop, trying to distill the essence of crafting hooky stories in simple, easy-to-understand concepts, I was amazed.

Nobody had ever explained this to me.

Most of the books and courses on writing and structure don't really touch on that. Truly. You could do all the steps in Save the Cat and totally miss how to hook readers because this information simply isn't there.

I realized I had found something special; an easy way to help writers identify what works and doesn't for their beginning paragraphs, and how to get the readers hooked in their stories. And that's why I'm putting it in this book; because I think my explanation can help writers.

When I say help, I truly mean help, I don't mean tying writers down with another concept that might stifle their creativity. This book is not about sticking your writing into a box or following rigid rules. While it provides tips and techniques to help you craft stories that readers won't quit, the advice is simple, easy, and flexible enough not to hinder your writing style or dampen your inspiration. Still, it should quench many of your doubts on whether your writing is hooky or not, so that you can spend more time creating and less time worrying.

I'll also provide you with advice for beginnings and examples of efficient first paragraphs so that you'll never again freak out wondering how to start your book. Instead, you'll feel confident that you can hook your reader from page one.
